The story of Narcissus is that he was so proud that he spurned every girl who fell in love with him. The god Nemesis (hence the English word 'nemesis' for someone who is the cause of your downfall) decided to teach him a lesson: he led him to a pond where Narcissus saw his own reflection. Not knowing that is was just a reflection, he fell in love with it. He just sat there and stared at it until he died.
The story teaches us that we should not be self-absorbed, and accept and enjoy the love that others offer us.
In Greek mythology, Narcissus is associated with the concept of self-love and vanity, but he doesn't have a realm like a god or goddess would. He is more commonly known for the story of Narcissus and Echo, where he falls in love with his own reflection.
Reflection on what you have learned should ideally begin during the action and continue afterwards in the debriefing or conclusion stage. This reflection should help reinforce learning and identify areas for improvement.
The youth who fell in love with his reflection was Narcissus. He was so enamored with his own beauty that he couldn't tear himself away from his reflection in the water, eventually withering away and transforming into the Narcissus flower.
No, in the myth of Narcissus, it was not the goddess of vengeance who caused him to fall in love with his own reflection. Narcissus was cursed by the goddess Nemesis to fall in love with his reflection as punishment for his vanity and pride. He became obsessed with his own image and wasted away looking at himself in a pool of water until he turned into the flower that bears his name.
It is not advisable to suggest or encourage anyone to harm themselves. If you or someone you know is experiencing thoughts of self-harm, please seek help from a mental health professional or a crisis hotline immediately.
